Why say typical - starts something then leaves it to everyone else. He started Ukip - won the referendum and quit having achieved the job- done. Its not his fault the result is being betrayed by the duplicitous shameful politicians.

Yes he has made quite an impact.

However he has never had, and never will have, any serious political responsibility.He's sold you something he has absolutely no responsibility for delivering. And it will make Nigel richer whilst we get poorer.

He failed to be elected as an MP seven times The Tories (thankfully) want nothing to do with him.

Yes indeed Nigel and his party have time and time again been rejected by the public. The fact is an EU referendum was not a priority for the British public.

However, the Tories know something of what Labour seems to know nothing of. That is, you can’t win an election with a divided party. Hence David Cameron used the referendum in an attempt to win the most seats in parliament. He did not think, though, that he would win a majority. Not even Cameron seriously wanted to risk putting this referendum to the people.

We are now in the middle of what is probably the biggest politcal fuck up ever in the history of the Westminster parliament.

Which is also not his fault but is the politicians fault because they could (should) of made him Sir or Lord Farage and brought him into the government as the minster for brexit.

Proving my point about it not being his fault he is not in a position to carry out any brexit responsibility and at the same time dismissing VNAs rubbish - thank you. You can not blame him for turning away from responsibility on one hand and then rejoice at him not being elected and prevented from doing anything with the other.

Foc me. Weird timing. Surely, he should have announced this directly before the 2nd vote or directly after it.

But all the same, timing aside, it makes perfect sense. The convention is that the same motion cannot be debated twice in one parliamentary session.It also pushes parliament forwards.But it means he’s also screwed my last prediction. I’m wrong again.And yeah, there will be knives out for him.

It was Angela Eagle who asked the question and Berk -o decided to look it up and went 400 years back to find the ruling. He has long since waved good buy to his Knighthood and so no he has no balls - more like he has no knighthood to loose
